📚 Historical Context

Joshua was the successor to Moses and a key military leader who guided the Israelites in conquering the Promised Land, as detailed in the books of Joshua and Judges. His death at 110 years old, mentioned in Judges 2:8, signifies the close of an era where the generation that witnessed God's miracles in the Exodus was passing away. This transition highlights the beginning of a period of instability in Israel, leading to the cycles of apostasy and deliverance described in the Book of Judges.
